You know, I remember talking to a fella a few years back. I told him I'd invest in oil if I had the money to blow, and he said I was crazy, and that the price of oil will never raise faster than inflation, and there's an infinite amount of the stuff anyways (right right?), so no worries. Well I was right, goddammit. I was right, and he was wrong, and we should have all invested in alternative energy way back when, and blah blah blah.

Oh well. What can you do? Liberals had plenty of ideas of how to preempt just such an event if measures were enacted prior to it happening, but the price of oil could never rise, humph humph humph.
